MOOCs no longer massive, still attract millions

One of the "o" in MOOC is "open", which many previous MOOCs no longer seem to be.

One of the more impressive resources on the coursera of old was stanford's CS103 course, which if it is still on there I can't find. In fact Stanford seem to have pulled out all their coursera courses.

Most providers in the MOOC space moved away from open learning, which is a shame.

I'm taking Andrew Ng's machine learning class now on Coursera. This might be a special case though since Andrew is a co-founder of Coursera.

MOOC really should be open and non-profit. I am sure there will people willing to donate as it can have a really big impact on society.

They can be! Our government (more specifically the ministry of public education and research) in France is co-funding a non-profit MOOC called France Université Numérique (France digital university) at https://www.fun-mooc.fr/
